He has studied the majority of the exist ing field recordings of older generations of players and many of the handwritt en manuscripts of nineteenth century fiddlers. 'English Fiddling' contains a w ide variety of traditional tunes, an essay about the history of the instrument in England and a number of archive photographs.
